    Khi- Salam. OOOps. i guess my words were too short to get the whole sense out of them. The general commands in the Quran are those addressing legal laws, others like salat, zakaat and believing in GOD Alone do not constitute any legal punishment and anyone can choose this for himself. GOD Bless!

    Wasalam, so lets say a christian commits murder in an islamic domain, we have to punish him, right ? Despite him not believing in al-quraan?

      salaam pm

      My question is simple.
      I have no clue which country u live in.
      This question is for all those muslims living in secular countries such as USA, Australia, Britain,India etc... Would u prefer if ur country had a religious legislation(such as christian, hindu etc) based on the religion of the majority, or would u prefer a secular legislation taking into consideration 'humanity in general irrespective of religion', like that of now?

      To answer your questions and I am going by personal experience only.
      I ave no doubt that I would like to live in a secular democratic society where evry one is free to pracitce their beliefs. This based purely on my experience of visiting different countries with different systems.
      Even if we lived in a society where every one believed in the system according to the Quran-there will be a matter of little difficulty in interpertation(as we have already discovered in this forum), as you see there were will always be ignorant idiots like us who may disagree with the more learned and intelligent ones so whose interpertation are we going to accept?
      Oh by the way does the Quran not tell us there is no compulsion in religion or am I being ignorant again!
      regards

        Ahh, i was just thinking of pming you and inviting you to join in here. Good you showed up. Now, as you said, everyone needs to be free to practice whatever they beleive in. This wont be possible if a country is ruled by the Quran. Another reason showing why a country shouldnt be ruled using the Quran.

          KGB is giving a valuable suggestion because if its true that you reject God's laws, then you'll be judging with ur hawaa (see 5/4. If you judge by your hawaa, nothing I say will help anyway (45/23). Its a good point which is essentially stop wasting time.

          If u consider it a waste of time, why do u bother to participate in the discussion and blame others for wasting ur time? Did anyone force anyone here to get into a discussion?

          Can I ask you though, is it polite to ask people questions and when they answer, you just overlook it and move on without acknowledgement?

          Is this implied at me? Coz, if it is and if I have missed out any question, I apologise for it. Didnt intend to.

          Abuses? Show me where abuses have flown over DISAGREEMENT ?

          Oh, Where shall we start?
          democracy thread where u shouted abuses at me, stillearning and Jaxal;
          Sect thread whre u shouted abuses at Mehdi
          God alone thread where u shouted abuses at Mehdi

          Do you accept al-quraan as criteria ?

          If so, do you think all its laws should be established?

          I accept Quran as a guidance from God to mankind in which Allah tells us to live life righteously and in a just way without creating mischief on earth.

          My Question here is different altogether. I am not asking ''if Quran is any one's criteria?''
          I am asking , ''would u be ok if Uk(whre u live today) followed a christian legislation instead of a secular one?
          I am just asking for every one's views here. Am not telling anyone what they should believe and what they should not believe.
          Everyone can and will use their own brains. Any problems with it?

                Thank you for your thought-I must have got the waves.
                More seriously how do you guys get to write so much on these forums-you must carry you laptop or whatever it is you use with you. At my age I get breathless just reading, also it is very difficult writing and watching cricket and football at the same time whilst pretending, to the Mrs, to be busy with work related matters otherwise hoovering and washing up.

                Oops sorry I forgot where I was oh! yes

                This wont be possible if a country is ruled by the Quran.

                Did we not encounter few problems in running a country with the Quran i.e finding few missing rules!

                          'IF it's true', PM. You claim to be Muslim, so by Quranic definition, you should be judging according to al-quraan. If you don't, yes, it'd be pointless because we wouldnt have common ground.

                          Is this implied at me? Coz, if it is and if I have missed out any question, I apologise for it. Didnt intend to.

                          Partly yes. Thank you for paying attention to this.

                          Oh, Where shall we start?
                          democracy thread where u shouted abuses at me, stillearning and Jaxal;

                          God alone thread where u shouted abuses at Mehdi

                          Al-quraan allows me to counter evil. Mr Mehdi by his own admission was there to mock people. Therefore, to judge him as a 'muslim' is counter-quranic. I have since ignored this person altogether.

                          I accept Quran as a guidance from God to mankind in which Allah tells us to live life righteously and in a just way without creating mischief on earth.

                          This is what I mean by not answering the question. My question was specific If so, do you think all its laws should be established?

                          Its funny how you cannot confront this question. Are Allah's laws so 'barbaric' to you because you live in a 'secular democracy' ??

                          I am asking , ''would u be ok if Uk(whre u live today) followed a christian legislation instead of a secular one?

                          My answer As a Muslim, in any polity I enter, Im obliged to follow its laws.

                                Regarding hiding myself behind KGB ID. Yes I am scared of Mujafiqeen and Criminals, petty thieves, jewelery theives.

                                I am willing to give my telephone number, address, real name or meet them in person with honest persons who will not harm me if we have differnce of opinion. I can't give me this information to someone with criminal backgroud and drug addict.

                                    Salaam KGB, you've certainly done your reading about munafiqeen. I need to see if this issue is worth the time to discuss. If it seems to be a waste of time, I'd rather focus on my own research.

                                      if the Quran is enough to run a country why did (and still do) civilizations under Shariah law mostly rule from sources outside of the Quran?

                                      if the Quran was a handbook for running a country then we certainly wouldn't need sunnah, fiqh or other human made laws to complete the country's constitution.
